5 downloads5%20downloads540 glyphs40%20glyphs40This is my first fontstruction for a typeface project at UWE. I chose to make a font under the theme “repetition” and wanted to create a simple, pixel art styled typeface with certain continuous elements in it to make my theme clear for the viewer. 1Lifer is a display font inspired of gaming culture, especially the 80s' classic arcade games, such as Tetris, early Super Mario Bros. and Space Invaders. I found the tiled shapes used in these games as a helpful resource to creating my own font – 1Lifer is also made from simple, pixel based forms. I was also inspired by the gaming arcades' bright, blinking lights. The name of the font stems from terms in relation to gaming and is a playful merge between the two expressions "1 up" and "no lifer."This%20is%20my%20first%20fontstruction%20for%20a%20typeface%20project%20at%20UWE.%20I%20chose%20to%20make%20a%20font%20under%20the%20theme%20%E2%80%9Crepetition%E2%80%9D%20and%20wanted%20to%20create%20a%20simple%2C%20pixel%20art%20styled%20typeface%20with%20certain%20continuous%20elements%20in%20it%20to%20make%20my%20theme%20clear%20for%20the%20viewer.%201Lifer%20is%20a%20display%20font%20inspired%20of%20gaming%20culture%2C%20especially%20the%2080s%27%20classic%20arcade%20games%2C%20such%20as%20Tetris%2C%20early%20Super%20Mario%20Bros.%20and%20Space%20Invaders.%20I%20found%20the%20tiled%20shapes%20used%20in%20these%20games%20as%20a%20helpful%20resource%20to%20creating%20my%20own%20font%20%E2%80%93%201Lifer%20is%20also%20made%20from%20simple%2C%20pixel%20based%20forms.%20I%20was%20also%20inspired%20by%20the%20gaming%20arcades%27%20bright%2C%20blinking%20lights.%20The%20name%20of%20the%20font%20stems%20from%20terms%20in%20relation%20to%20gaming%20and%20is%20a%20playful%20merge%20between%20the%20two%20expressions%20%221%20up%22%20and%20%22no%20lifer.%22

A little Jobs/Wozniak drama from the development story of the game Breakout:

"Breakout, a discrete logic (non-microprocessor) game, was conceptualized by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow, after the latter had "rejoined" Atari after the merge of Atari subsidiary Kee Games.

"Al Alcorn was assigned as the project manager, and began development with Cyan Engineering in 1975. The same year, Alcorn assigned Steve Jobs to design a prototype. Jobs was offered USD$750, with an extra $100 each time a chip was eliminated from the prospected design. Jobs promised to complete a prototype within four days. Jobs noticed his friend Steve Wozniak—employee of Hewlett-Packard—was capable of producing designs with a small number of chips, and invited him to work on the hardware design with the prospect of splitting the $750 wage.

"The original deadline was met after Wozniak didn't sleep for four days straight. In the end 50 chips were removed from Jobs' original design. This equated to a $5000 USD bonus, which Jobs kept secret from Wozniak, instead only paying him $375."
